Who's shocked? Seth wouldn't be that easy to get rid of. He is the moment afterall. But he seemed to have gotten the situation wrong. How would everything unfold? Seems like all hope is lost. Stay right where you are, and continue enjoying this story. Love you all.
SixtySethThe tattoo needle sting fueled my steps as I carried my torture equipments down to the throne room in a suitcase, where all the four guards that were on a patrol stood, their eyes ahead as they avoided my stare, all the while not looking guilty.They had no idea what I had planned for them today."Your highness." They all chorused, bowing to me as I stepped into the room, placing the suitcase on the stool in front of me.I could hear them stiffen as I opened the suitcase, giving them a glimpse of the contents in it. Two big vials of wolf's bane. Sets of silver knives. Syringes, nail clippers, and many others. My trusted kit of torture devices,small but effective. It had never failed, but there could be a first time. Regardless, I slipped on my black gloves, standing tall as I looked etched and all of them, their nervousness washing off each of them in waves.They knew what I was capable of. They all understood what it meant to be here. Afterall, I was the king for a reaso
Sixty-OneNaomiIt has been two weeks since i was made to flee my kingdom. Two weeks since the king banished me to my room, without food and water, but decided to feed me after learning that the baby could die if i wasnt fed on time. I was slowly losing my mind, the grief from losing my mother and the love of my life slowly chipping away at my mental health, and my baby being the only company I had.It was growing fast, my bump already visible, well just a bit. It wasn't completely obvious, but I could see it and feel it.On many days I wished Seth was here, and I often imagined how tenderly he would treat me and the baby, not letting me lift a finger.But here, I was abandoned with no-one to talk to. Hazel came in once in a while to check the condition of that baby and make sure I wasn't dead, and that was the only form of care I got in this place.Although I didn't want their care, I only wanted them dead.The door couldn't be opened from within, so I needed the key to leave. The
Sixty-TwoSethCollins didn't hesitate before confessing where the other guards' mates were, but what he refused to confess was what the rogue king was planning.With no fingernails left and a bunch of opened words, Collins was about to die on me and I was getting angrier. At least it gave me something to do, but I couldn't fucking think straight without Naomi. I craved to see her in pain, and that was my single push to not stop drilling Collins, although he claimed not to have any idea of where the kingdom was located. I took the spray bottle filled with wolf's bane and sprayed it on his wounds. He let out a long throaty scream, but it wasn't enough. This was getting boring, and I have to get answers soon."Tell me where the kingdom is." Collins's eyes were wild with pain and desperation as he gasped for breath. He was barely holding on, and u knew it was just a matter of time until he gave up.Or he died."I told you, I don't know!" he screamed, his voice hoarse.My patience was
Sixty-ThreeNaomiMy heart throbbed as I laid in the bed, and I adjusted to find the best position to sleep on the unusually hard bed.Birds chirped from outside the window, a rare occurrence. Infact, this was the first time a bird had ever chirped outside this prison—"What sort of pregnant woman are you? The one who gets selective or the one who gets hungrier?" My eyes fluttered open, and I was met with a beautiful woman who seemed to be a bit younger than Luna Tia. Her warm eyes smiled at me as she placed a tray beside the bed and moved to sit beside me, but I flew to the other side of the bed.I knew something was off. The prison had no windows. And the bed wasn't as hard as this one.The woman looked a bit offended at my scepticism but she hid it well, mixing my tea."Who are you?" I stuttered, keeping my eyes trained on her.She watched me with warmth in her eyes, and she patted the edge of the bed. "Come sit, I want to tell you a story."I shook my head, I wasn't in the mood f
Sixty-Four SethThe revelation rang in my head as I struggled to accept that I had a child.Isabella sighed, taking a seat as Connor tried to understand what exactly was going on. He was just as confused as I was. Yes Naomi and I never used protection because we never planned to have sex most times. It just happens. I never thought —Oh my goddess. My child was going to be sacrificed for a ritual.I leapt to my feet, rushing to the door. My heart thumped wildly in my chest as my thoughts flew everywhere. So this was their plan all along. They knew I was going to conceive a child who had powers for destruction. They planted Naomi in my life.I bet Naomi also knew, no wonder she kept coming back."Argh!" My fist met with the door, the door denting really badly it almost flew off the hinges. My chest heaved up and down, and I could only see red.She played me. They all played me. I would make them all suffer. I will make them pay!My child. My innocent child…I turned back to Isabell
Sixty-FiveNaomiTwo weeks passed, and I was already warmed up to this beautiful Queen, my real mother. She was kind and compassionate, hardly wanting me to help around the cottage, but I couldn't just sit and wait for her to cater to me.She told me stories of her life, how she felt being queen and how the king slowly turned into a monster after he began chasing power. They used to be madly in love, until he became hungry for power. She, Xander and him were a perfect family, and she wished it could have stayed that way.I pitied her. She was filled with sadness and guilt, but in the midst of all that, she still found it in her to be nice. She told stories of Xander and how he had a heart of gold, although I disagreed. She felt he hated her for running away all these years and I wished I could help her find out.But Xander was dead to me. If I had a chance, stabbing him would be the first thing I would do.We spent nights talking about our lives, and days just knowing each other bette
"Mother!" I screamed, tears filling my eyes as I took in her state. "There you are, Princess. We've been looking all over for you. " the king smirked at me, walking towards my mother."What did you do to her? Leave her alone!" I screamed and he just laughed, tugging her hair backwards. "You mean this bitch? I wouldn't be hurting her if it wasn't for you now would I?"Realisation dawned over me. The only reason they couldn't find her was because she hid well, but now I had brought them right to her footstep."Leave her alone. I'm here now. I'll go with you!"The king let out a dark chuckle as he sneered at her. "Miss me baby?" She gave a snarl. "I would never forgive you for destroying our family. You destroyed everything you touch!"His eyes darkened, and his hand rose to strike her, the movement causing her head to snap back."Stop hurting her!" I screamed but I was ignored. My eye went to Xander's who were void of emotion as he stared at his mother and disgust filled me."You re
Sixty-Seven Xander "Daddy, where's mummy?" I asked my dad, feeling chilly as I walked to where he stood at the balcony. I was a bit scared— Daddy has been a lot angry since Aurora was born. I have no idea why but he scared me every time. I held my blanket closer to me, daddy's eyes dark as he looked at the moon. "Daddy," I called out again, not sure if he heard me. "What?" He shouted, scaring me. Tears filled my eyes and I started to cry. I heard him sigh angrily and I held my blanket close, ready incase he was going to hurt me. "Stop crying like a weakling." He sounded angry, scaring me into silence. I held my breath, not wanting to let go of my blanket. I wish mummy was here. Mummy would never hurt me. Mummy loves me. Daddy frowned at me, and bent to my level. "I'm sorry Xander." I frowned. Daddy always confuses me. "Why don't you go back to bed? Get some sleep. " He pushed me to the direction of my room, but I turned back to him. "I want mum
